Thomas A. Edison Papers <http://edison.rutgers.edu>. Created and maintained by the Thomas A. Edison Papers, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Piscataway, N.J.; editor and director, Paul Israel. Reviewed Jan. 3–13, 2003.

The Web site of the Thomas A. Edison Papers is an invaluable resource for professional historians and others interested in the renowned American inventor-entrepreneur. Although users only have direct access to a fraction of the Edison corpus, the site is an exemplar, one of the few destinations on the Web where a historian can conduct primary research from the comfort of his or her own home or office.

The holdings at the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, New Jersey, contain an estimated 5 million pages of documents and include laboratory notebooks, patent applications, business and personal correspondence, and corporate documents spanning the six decades during which Edison was professionally active. Drawing upon extensive microfilms of selected records, the Edison Papers Web site provides online access to 180,000 items, and future plans call for doubling the online collection to approximately 400,000 documents.
